THICK AS A BRICK

Simply put, Thick as a Brick is the best progressive album of all time. The only albums that can possibly compare are Selling England or Close to the Edge. This is Ian Anderson's all out MASTERPIECE. Brilliant Acoustic work, brillian flute sounds, great drumming, superb electric guitar, and of course excellent piano. All that aside, the lyrics are incredible, thought-provoking, and witty as they should be. I would elaborate, but I cannot capture what this album is. Once you listen, it is obvious how great it is. It was a little ahead of its time however, and critics weren't overwhelmingly kind.
